Life can be challenging but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. My specialty is in working with the effects of unresolved trauma, including anxiety and depression. I incorporate a mind/body treatment approach combining somatic psychotherapy, yoga, and mindfulness all based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma. My hope is that I can help each person who chooses to work with me to feel empowered to become the conductor of their own journey rather than being at the mercy of past or present life circumstances.

We all have the ability to break patterns, confront the things which are hurting us, and to live our lives with more grace, happiness, and ease; that includes you. I know that the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, and I have been honored to have the trust of the people I work with and to see the impact of their progress on their lives and the lives of all those around them. I’ll be direct with you, but I’ll also be your biggest cheerleader. If you're wrestling with moods or anxiety that is taking over your life, let's tackle it together so you can focus on the things that are most important to you.

I was an activist long before I was a therapist, and I bridge these approaches in my work. Chicago parents, queers, spoonies, feminists, sex workers, polyfolx and weirdos of all stripes: I got you. I use Talk Therapy, EMDR & Mindfulness to help people heal from trauma and bring joy into their lives.

At some point in our lives, we all encounter difficulties. These hard times may be related to our relationships, past or current traumas, work challenges, health problems, among others. My approach is to focus on the entire person, mind, body, and spirit. This involves taking a holistic view of the client and integrating healing practices for all facets of your being. My first goal is to get to know you and co-create a healing plan for you. I will partner with you to find what works best for you.

At the core of my work is the belief in the power of relationships to foster growth and healing. I particularly enjoy working with folks who are interested in increasing self-awareness, discovering and/or honoring their most authentic selves as they navigate life’s ups and downs, and looking to increase their own sense of self compassion.
As an estranged Mexican American daughter of immigrants, I also value working and supporting those who are navigating difficult and dysfunctional relationships with family.

It's a tough time out there these days. Between the economy, managing school or work, relationship issues, not knowing where you fit in or what your purpose might be, or just having an even harder time than usual dealing with mental health issues, so many of us are feeling burned out and not sure how to cope. You might have fallen into ways of dealing with life that aren't working out so great for you, like drinking too much, self-harming, isolating from others, or forming unhealthy relationships. It can be easy to think that you're alone in struggling this way, that the confidence, joy, and connection you need is unreachable.

The stories we’re told—and the ones we tell ourselves—shape how we see the world and our place in it. Oftentimes, these stories can feel limiting and don’t reflect our true potential or experiences. As a queer and neurodivergent person, I understand the importance of finding a therapist who is affirming of your experiences individually and in community. I offer a space where you are encouraged to slow down and express your authentic self without judgment.

I seek to empower clients to access their own curiosity and courage to effectively engage in their own personal growth. It helps to be open to change and to take responsibility. Since this process can come with discomfort, I strive to maintain an open and nonjudgmental space to help clients explore, problem-solve, and process their concerns. I use skills like mindfulness and trauma therapy (EMDR, parts work, polyvagal). Clients can expect to explore intrapersonal processes, set healthy boundaries, advocate for themselves in their relationships, and learn emotional regulation in order to commit to valued actions.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Are you finding that you and your partner keep getting stuck in what feels like the same patterns over and over again? Then I can help! Each of us wants to maximize our deepest relationship and feel safe, secure, and loved by our partner. I believe each couple has patterns which repeat themselves which bring us further apart.

I'm excited to rediscover that spark and reset your magical journey together!

I believe that we humans heal in the context of relationship and that therapy is the process in which we find our way to our whole selves. In the therapy room, I join with clients to co-create their unique path to wholeness by realizing their inherent strengths and utilizing them to developing a 'tool belt' of strategies for which to work through life's struggles. Together we orient to the client's inherent capacity to gain mastery of their own functioning from the lens of their truth.

I came to where I am now after years as a community and labor organizer and understand how challenging it is to try to thrive within society as it currently functions.
One aspect of my practice that has become increasingly important, is helping clients improve their connection to the healing power of nature and adventure. I have seen the positive and humbling impact of the outdoors on countless individuals and groups, especially those who have experienced trauma and oppression, by what it teaches us about being human members of an ecosystem. Let's walk and talk! Also, it rains sometimes. And that teaches us something too!

New availability! As of June 2025, Wednesdays weekly at 12p or 3:15p, or biweekly at 2p. Virtual only. Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is making the choice to begin. If you are here, you’re ready or at least thinking about starting this journey. Welcome and bring your curiosity! You don’t need to have answers when you come to therapy. You may not even know what the exact issues are. That’s okay. We will work in collaboration to find the path forward that benefits you most. There’s no “one size fits all” therapy so we may “try on” a few different things to see what works for you!

As a narrative therapist, I believe that we are all shaped by the stories we carry—some passed down, some chosen, some formed in response to pain, change, or survival. My role is not to rewrite your story for you, but to walk alongside you as we gently examine what’s been written, what’s been silenced, and what still wants to be said. Maybe you are rebuilding your life after substance use, trauma, codependency, or other significant challenges. You may be seeking redefinition of identity and meaning after enduring loss.

I am a compassionate trauma-informed therapist that primarily works with individuals struggling with trauma/PTSD, ADHD, neurodivergent issues, relationship issues, chronic pain, physical disability, partner violence, substance abuse, anxiety, stress, depression, cultural identity, cultural/intergenerational conflicts, family conflicts, and other issues. As a daughter of South Asian immigrants, I have always been interested in working with traditionally overlooked communities. I have worked with individuals with dual diagnosis, domestic violence survivors, veterans, and LGBTQIA individuals.

You are good. Rarely do folks act in ways that don't make sense to them. Maybe you are experiencing frustration in relationships. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by sadness, fears, or exhaustion. You are human. In this space you will be heard and validated as you discover more about yourself and develop compassion for the parts of you that may seem most dark. And sometimes the path to wellness is to allow ourselves to be discovered more deeply.

Life can sometimes be challenging and painful. There are times when you need someone to talk to that’s objective, an outside source that’s compassionate and will not only listen but understand and “get it”.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
